Evaluation of Probabilistic Measures of Interleaved Flyback Inverter with Switched Redundancy and Cutset Concepts

Abstract The use of differential case marking of A and P has been explained in terms of efficiency (economy) and markedness. The present study tests predictions based on these accounts, using conditional probabilities of a particular feature given the syntactic role (cue availability), and conditional probabilities of a particular syntactic role given the feature in question (cue reliability). Cue availability serves as a measure of markedness, whereas cue reliability is central for the efficiency account. Similar to reverse engineering, we determine which of the probabilistic measures could have been responsible for the recurrent cross-linguistic patterns described in the literature. The probabilities are estimated from spontaneous informal dialogues in English and Russian (Indo-European), Lao (Tai-Kadai), N||ng (Tuu) and Ruuli (Bantu). The analyses, which involve a series of mixed-effects Poisson models, clearly demonstrate that cue reliability matches the observed cross-linguistic patterns better than cue availability. Thus, the results support the efficiency account of differential marking.

Probabilistic Measures

This paper introduces a new lifetime model which is a generalization of the transmuted exponentiated additive Weibull distribution by using the Kumaraswamy generalized (Kw-G) distribution. With the particular case no less than \textbf{seventy nine} sub models as special cases, the so-called Kumaraswamy transmuted exponentiated additive Weibull distribution, introduced by Cordeiro and de Castro (2011) is one of this particular cases. Further, expressions for several probabilistic measures are provided, such as probability density function, hazard function, moments, quantile function, mean, variance and median, moment generation function, R\'{e}nyi and q entropies, order estatistics, etc. Inference is maximum likelihood based and the usefulness of the model is showed by using a real dataset.

Block Structured

In this paper, we consider a certain class of Markov renewal processes where the matrix of the transition kernel governing the Markov renewal process possesses some block-structured property, including repeating rows. Duality conditions and properties are obtained on two probabilistic measures which often play a key role in the analysis and computations of such a block-structured process. The method used here unifies two different concepts of duality. Applications of duality are also provided, including a characteristic theorem concerning recurrence and transience of a transition matrix with repeating rows and a batch arrival queueing model.
